Spotlight® on SQL Server Product Walkthrough

This "walkthrough" document is intended as a guide for you to explore the major features of Spotlight® on SQL Server after installation. For a complete explanation of the features of the product, see the online help or the release notes, which are automatically installed with the product. While this guide will not cover all of Spotlight on SQL Server's functionality, it will help you get started with your initial usage. Spotlight, a Windows®-based diagnostic and resolution solution for SQL Server, features patent-pending technology that displays real-time activity of all database components in a single interface. By displaying the actual processing architecture of SQL Server, Spotlight helps you pinpoint the source of problems as they occur and rapidly resolve them. Graphical flows illustrate the rate at which data is moving between database components. A map displays the value of key statistics and metrics about the SQL Server, including user activity, I/O activity and operational overhead.
